INSIDER dessert The INSIDER Summary: A restaurant in New York City serves a $16 dessert that looks exactly like a halved avocado sitting on a bed of sea salt. The now-viral dish is actually made up of avocado and lime purée, whipped cream, eucalyptus yogurt, and lime snow. The sweet surprise apparently tastes a lot like key lime pie. Then, they pipe the mixture into a silicone mold shaped like an avocado cut in half. According to Empellón chef and owner Alex Stupak, customers are usually taken aback when they first see the dessert.
